Hospital reform without midwives? Lauterbach disappointed
Are our children and mothers worth nothing to us? It's five minutes to midnight in the hospital reform for midwives! Everything is at stake! It's about the quality of birth care for 700,000 babies per year in Germany! Despite repeated claims by Health Minister Karl Lauterbach, there have been hardly any improvements in the hospital reform [for midwives]," Ulrike Geppert-Orthofer, President of the German Midwives Association (DHV).
MORE MIDWIVES appeals to the Bundestag, the SPD, the Greens and FDP, to Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Minister Christian Lindner, Robert Habeck, but above all to Karl Lauterbach to consider the proposed solutions submitted by DHV in the hospital reform and to involve the DHV in the hospital reform. We would be very pleased if the government in Berlin under Kai Wegner supported this Berlin initiative. MORE MIDWIVES symbolically left white flowers at the red town hall in Berlin.
